Forget the trellis ... as it adds no useable benefit at this stage . Long veg strains that allow you to weave branches would have been what to shoot for.

Note , the tall girl there .... trellis will not benefit it at all .

Ok ... Autos do not have the lengthy life time of regs that you can scrog ... you can SOG grow , Lst , even top a few . Autos are plug and play ... plant seed and let it do its thing.

Hate to put it bluntly... autos would be much more ahead by now if they received optimal lighting right front ... small cfl or those screw blurples will do nothing for them. Autos thrive under long , bright light. Yours appear to have lagged a bit because your lighting including the use MG and Fox Farms together. MG has whats called ( CRF ) controlled release fertilizers meaning “ everytime “ you water it feeds ... plus you are use a very concentrated nute ( gro big ) on top. Grow big can burn plants quickly too. I have used FF nutes and dumped them. I grow lots of autos and am telling you that dropping this and that on top of them causes problems like stunting , smaller plants , weak flower.
That tall lanky plant just screams that it is from lack of light.

Next time , if you plant autos on a sustainable bagged medium like FFOF or Happy Frog , Kellogg , Dr. Earth type soil ... you would not need bottles.
just the medium and adding a fistful to water in a various times.

BUT , the biggest issue is lack of appropriate light.

Breeders lie about timelines for all strains, including autos. I have an NL auto going right now that was supposed to finish in less then 70 days, and I'm on 80+ with weeks left to go.

You'll see much better results when you get the new light we talked about. Just learn what you can while we finish these out

No, but it also didnt help haha. I was wondering where all the leaves were hiding. No need to defoliate that heavily in the future.

The best advice is to get more light on those plants.
The best advice is for this guy to cut his losses and restart. He needs to watch videos on how to set up a grow tent and get proper dirt. These poor girls have been given JUST enough light to survive.
